Explain why (–4x)^0 = 1, but –4x^0 = –4.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Any number raised to power zero = 1. 

Note that 0 raised to power 0 is not 1, it is undefined.

Therefore:

(-4x)⁰ = 1

For the second part  -4x⁰ = :

x⁰ = 1,    -4x⁰ = -4*(1) = -4

 This is true on the assumption that x is not equal to zero.

I hope this explains it.

Hello,

f(x)=x²/3+x
==>f(6)=6²/3+6=36/2+6=12+6=18

Answer C

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember to use the order of operations.

First, write 6 wherever there is a X in the original equation. We know to do this because the ''f(6)'' tell us what X is. 6^2 / 3 + 6

Second, we need to find the answer to 6 x 6 or 6 squared. Rember that when you see 6^2, it does not mean 6 x 2. It means that number, times itself. 6 x 6 = 36

Now our equation looks like this. 36 / 3 + 6

Third, we divided 36 by 3. 36 / 3 = 12

Now our equation looks like this. 12 + 6

Finally, we add 12 + 6 together for our final answer. 12 + 6 = 18

Josh's gross pay was 320.00 this week. How much in FICA will be withheld from his check

Answers

Given:
gross pay for the week: 320

FICA - Federal Insurance Contribution Act
Social Security Tax = 6.2% of his wages
Medicare Tax = 1.45% of his wages

SST = 6.2% * 320 = 19.84
MT = 1.45% * 320 =   4.64

Total FICA withheld = 19.84 + 4.64 = 24.48
